==Behind the scenes==
* In the opening credits, Alan Reed and Mel Blanc are credited as the Caterpillar(s), but within the movie, they are still called Fred and Barney. They don't seem to be their ''[[The Flintstones (TV series)|Flintstones]]'' selves, but they sure act like it, nonetheless.
* The White Rabbit refers to the [[L. Frank Baum]]'s 1900 book (and later [[MGM]]'s 1939 movie) ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
* The Dormouse said "S'alright" in an allusion to what Spanish ventriloquist Senor Winces would say.

==Errors==
* An unrelated girl called Alice also falls into Wonderland. What are the chances of that?

==Everlasting influence==
* Scenes from this movie are used in the "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" musical sequence in the [[1987]] television film ''[[Rock Odyssey]]''.
